Indiana is randomly issuing the new base, so tracking highs has become impossible. Plates are being issued in the 3 number/3 letter, 3 number/2 letter, and even 3 number/1 letter formats in each county. 3/3 plates have already been spotted from at least AAF through ZZZ, so obviously some combinations have been skipped, but there is no actual master allocation. On the good side, people who previously had low numbers (1-100) in the traditional county coded plates may keep the number on the new base by paying a $30 fee, which is less than the personalized fee. The new font looks much better with the traditional numbering format, and as with the embossed plates, the new font closely resembles the older format with the smaller letter and appropriate spacing, and it looks far better than on the green background plates currently being phased out.
Eric has documented the following observations about the 2008 issue:

In the 1-letter suffix, only A, C, F, K, M, Q, S, W, and Y have been seen.

In the 2-letter plates, all except M in the 1st position, and all but F in the 2nd position have been seen.

In the 3-letter plates, no X in the 1st position have been seen, but all letters in the 2nd and 3rd positions have been seen.

Based on the above, it appears they don't use I or O in the 1st letter position regardless of how many letters there are.

Semi-Trailer Indiana has two types of new 8 character Semi-Trailer plates. The first uses an "SE" prefix and is flat with red characters on a white background and uses validation stickers. The second type uses an "SP" prefix and is flat with black characters on a white (or light gray) background and does not have stickers, but has "NO" and "EXP" in the upper left and right corners.
